This work discusses regular particle arrays as nanostructured front layers for possible application in photovoltaic devices yielding strongly increased forward scattering. I used a rigorous plane-wave method to investigate multi-type particle layers combining different radii and configurations. The absorbance was enhanced compared to the bare Si wafer and I demonstrated on mixing particles a br...

Formation of a functional neuronal network requires not only precise target recognition, but also stabilization of axonal contacts within their appropriate synaptic layers. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the stabilization of axonal connections after reaching their specifically targeted layers. Here, we show that two receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs), LAR ...

We use an instrument combining optical (surface plasmon resonance) and acoustic (Love mode acoustic wave device) real-time measurements on a same surface for the identification of water content in collagen and fibrinogen protein layers. After calibration of the surface acoustic wave device sensitivity by copper electrodeposition, the bound mass and its physical properties – density and optical ...

geographical position, topographic conditions and climatic variety have caused the ‎province of zanjan to be known as the province of four seasons. its unique ‎ecological conditions, forest and pasture coverage, numerous water resources, ‎wildlife, several hunting zones, protected areas, caves, waterfalls, springs and tens of ‎other beautiful unique landscapes have caused this province ...

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) provides high-resolution and real-time visualization of various layers the gastrointestinal (GI) tract beyond by combining technology with endoscopic [...]

We enhance the well established software combining synchronization technique to create combining funnels Previous software combiningmethods used a statically assigned tree whose depth was logarithmic in the total number of processors in the system On shared memory multiprocessors the new method allows to dynamically build combining trees with depth logarithmic in the actual number of processors...

Today, e-commerce has occupied a large volume of economic exchanges. It is known as one of the most effective business practices. Predicted trust which means trusting an anonymous user is important in online communities. In this paper, the trust was predicted by combining two methods of multiplex network and community detection. In modeling the network in terms of a multiplex network, the relat...
